Top 4 Alternatives To Wood Shutters In Toronto

From improving light control to increasing privacy, wood shutters can be used in every room, but they may not be everyone’s number one choice.

What Can You Install Instead Of Wood Shutters In Toronto?

 

If wood shutters in Toronto do not make the cut for you, you can try any one of the four following options we offer at California Shutters to cater to the diverse needs of all our customers: 

 

Sheers: Let more light in

 

If you like your rooms to be bright and airy but would still like to maintain privacy, sheers can be a great choice. Their soft, airy appearance adds a sense of warmth to every room. In fact, their ability to filter sunlight instead of blocking it out altogether makes them a great choice for living areas and dining rooms where they add to the room’s bright and cheery ambience. They also pair well with other window treatments and can be used to create a lighter, more fluid aesthetic. 

 

Shades: More versatile light and privacy control 

 

If the intent is to color match your window treatment to the decor of your home, shades are a great choice. They are available in a wide range of fabrics, colors, and styles, and give you greater control over how much natural light you want to let into your home. They are very easy to use and are a practical choice for homes where wooden window shutters feel too substantial. 

 

Blinds: The practical and adjustable choice

 

Close to wooden shutters in functionality, blinds allow precise light adjustment while being easy to operate. Their lightweight design makes maintenance easy; however, they might be more prone to damage. In any case, they are a practical and more budget-friendly option for most homes. 

 

Zebra Blinds: Flexible control, day and night

 

Featuring alternative sheer and opaque bands, zebra blinds combine the superior privacy control of wood shutters with the flexibility of regular blinds. They definitely offer the most privacy amongst alternative window treatment options, and are a great choice for modern homes.
